# Rich Hribar: Hribar recommends starting Caleb Williams as a QB1 in Week 2 against the Vikings, and treats Carson Wentz as a viable streaming option with Kyler Murray expected to miss the week due to concussion. **Claimed:** Sep 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Hribar — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rich-hribar **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/vikings-bears-week-2-fantasy-football-preview-nfl-worksheet-rich-hribar-2026/ 3 checkable claims — 1 availability call, 1 depth chart call and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > I am still using Williams as a QB1 option based on that marriage of this offense and defense, but this will be a fun matchup to see just how real things are. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Caleb Williams to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Entering the week, I am going to approach things as if Kyler Murray will miss a week after suffering a concussion.
